Pollination
Jersey is generally self-fertile, but another Northern Highbush cultivar with overlapping bloom can improve berry size and yield. Consider Liberty or Chandler.
Planting and Care
Plant in full sun and acidic, well-drained soil, ideally around pH 4.5–5.5. Maintain even moisture and mulch the shallow root zone. Annual renewal pruning helps keep a large, vigorous Jersey bush open to light and air.
